Kim Manners

[Amaya-chan]

I just learned that Kim Manners, who directed several episodes of The X-Files and Supernatural, has died.

Very sad day for X-Philies everywhere and a big loss to TV in general. I had no idea he was sick!

Aw man. He directed Clyde Bruckman, amongst other wonderful stuff.
He will surely be missed.
RIP Kim.

One of the comments led to this brief interview on YouTube:

What an interesting fellow, and did he even make it to 60? None of the obits so far mentioned an age. He went back a long way in the industry, around 30 years, but looked fairly young, with more left to accomplish. Sad loss indeed.

I saw somewhere he was 59, still so young. I was shocked to here that Kim had passed away He will be greatly missed. Kim did such a good job on The X Files. RIP Kim God bless.
